You can use OpenProcess like so:

Code:

OpenProcess('name_of_exe_here.exe')

Just so you are aware, getProcessIDFromProcessName returns a numerical value so the function tonumber isn't required.

That detail wasn't for you, it was to let the questioner know that ID is a numeric value!

Please don't feel so responsible.
This is not a race!

I was just informing you that the return value of that function is a number so the tonumber function wasn't necessary.

There is no competition here. I pass on knowledge that I have attained over the course of my time as a hobbyist game hacker.

couple functions:

Code:

function IsProcessExists(procName)
return getProcessIDFromProcessName(procName) ~= nil
end

function IsAttached(procName)
return getProcessIDFromProcessName(procName) == getOpenedProcessID()
end

function ShouldAttach(procName)
if not IsProcessExists(procName) then return end
openProcess(procName)
end

Just thought I'd mention. I think Farmville 2 is a facebook game, so it's likely a browser game. _________________ wiki.CheatEngine.org - Tutorials OpenCheatTables.org

There may be some bugs in this game. Wink

( Items lost for no reason and getting them back, game not opening problems after the update, etc. CE can be used to fix such errors. I think this relieves the burden of software developers. )

I guess the topic content is not cheating.
Yes, if the content was about cheating, we would not participate, because it is a superficial issue that is limited to the CE process list only.

Currently in the lead role; CE has a bug fix option. Smile
